You've arrived at MelonLand ! This is an online arts community with 3294 members, who celebrate homepages, virtual worlds, the world-wide-web and the digital lives that all netizins share, here at the dawn of the digital age.

This community has three goals:

• To make the web; genuine, chaotic, timeless, individual and joyful
• To provide knowledge and support to humans creating virtual worlds
• To promote websites and virtual worlds as mediums of visual art

MelonLand is part of a wider movement called the web revival ; it's made up of people who choose to engage with small handmade web projects and indie art on the web!

Do you have other questions! Take a look at this page for extra info!

I'm Daniel (aka Melon); an Irish visual artist. I started the melon project in 2007 and later revived it in 2016.

Initially I was inspired because I thought there could be a better version of the web; there's something we've all lost in the rush to monetise and structure our digital lives; an essence of feeling, and chaos, and hope.

You can read my web manifesto here. The web is the most important construction in human history, and we cannot let it lose its human touch.
